Turner Construction Company has a strong record of outreach, education, and long-established partnerships with minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs) and this comprehensive program has resulted in contract awards and partnerships totaling more than $1 billion nationally to MWBEs each year for the last nine years.

Even during the recent economic downturn, Turner’s firm commitment to outreach remained strong and, since 1979, the company has awarded more than 65,000 contracts, for a total value of more than $22.7 billion, to MWBEs.

The company offers the Turner School of Construction Management which seeks to expand the opportunities available to MWBEs. More than 35,000 small business owners have graduated from the program, many of whom have gone on to win major construction contracts with Turner.
